Silgan names ex-KPMG exec to board

Leading packaging provider Silgan Holdings named long-time KPMG executive Joseph Jordan to its board of directors.

Silgan isn’t a name familiar to the average consumer, even though its products come in contact with millions of people daily. As a leading supplier of rigid packaging for shelf stable foods and other consumer goods, Silgan operates 87 manufacturing plants worldwide and generates annual sales of $3.7 billion.

Jordan joins the board following a 25 year career at KPMG where he served as a partner in the firm’s financial services practice. He also served as partner-in-charge of KPMG’s New York insurance practice and was KPMG’s national director of insurance tax services. Jordan also served as a partner in KPMG’s department of professional practice, specializing in SEC and PCAOB matters involving auditor independence and other regulatory matters. Prior to joining KPMG, Jordan began his career with the United States Department of Treasury
